The K400/5.6 is an excellent lens, but it doesn't focus very close. The A400/5.6 focuses much closer, and sells for approximately a hundred dollars more. I believe both lenses are more contemporary optical designs than the 500, but I can't say for sure. Paul On Oct 17, 2006, at 6:44 PM, Scott Loveless wrote:
